BASIC OPERATION
Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum 
power allowed by the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this 
handset and base can communicate over only a 
certain distance - which can vary with the locations 
of the base and handset, the weather, and the 
construction of your home or ofce.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the 
handset might not ring or if it does ring, the call might 
not connect when you press PHONE. Move closer to 
the base, then press PHONE to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, 
you might hear noise or interference. To improve 
reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your 
phone will be left off the hook. To hang up properly, 
walk back into range, periodically pressing OFF.
